Boulder police are investigating what caused a Boulder-area man to fall from the Foothills Parkway overpass bridge into the lanes of Table Mesa Drive on Thursday night.

Police responded to Table Mesa Drive just west of the Foothills overpass just after 9 p.m. on reports of a man in the roadway, according to Sgt. Doyle Thomas of the Boulder Police Department.

According to eyewitness accounts, the man fell from the overpass bridge onto Table Mesa, Thomas said.

The man, who is in his early 40s, was conscious and breathing when emergency crews arrived. It is unclear exactly how far he fell.

He was transported to Boulder Community Hospital with undisclosed injuries, Thomas said. His identity has not been released by police. Thomas said the man formerly lived in Boulder, but investigators are working to determine if he still lives in the city or if he has moved.

A vehicle that reportedly belongs to the man was found on the overpass.

Thomas would not comment on whether police believe the incident was a suicide attempt. The case remains under investigation.
